Email Types in Select Names Dialog Box

[Dave Loverink]

I'm new to OL2003 and I'm wondering if there is any way to have the
Select Names dialog box (the one you get by clicking on To, CC or BCC
in a new mail message window) show only certain types of addresses.
It shows SMTP and Fax addresses now and I'd like to limit the list to
just SMTP addreses.

Thanks,

Dave

The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:
